Dear Rock Gods,Please create some music that actually sounds different than the same shit that's been rocking the earth for the last forty years. Strawberry Alarm Clock was boring enough the first time.

We've picked up bands from all over the world that are traveling to Austin for SXSW. The best part for you? All of the shows are early and dirt cheap. A great way to see what all the hub-bub is about. We'll still have you in bed waaaaay early if you decide to have a little fun with us on a weekday. Some of the shows have local headliners, some are just the bands from out of town. These acts are from all over the map, sonically and literally. So, please, join us and let's show these intrepid minstrels a great time!

Remember... all the shows start around 8:00, all of the shows are $3, and all of the shows are all ages.

If I may change the subject from Panda Bear, I'd like to address Teenage Symphony's disturbing performance in Euless a few weeks back.

Walter Rahitas, Mud Trap, Bunker, and I were leaving the Roadhouse Sizzler after three steak sandwiches and four root beers when we spotted the band we were to see later that night uploading content to this very site from a Starbuck's hotspot.

That band was Teenage Symphony, and they are shooting JR. everyday and thensome. There was an Asian kid, some lawn jockey with a shirt on, and a fair-skinned lady who, as I would learn later, seemed better suited as a freelance cellist for the Presbyterian Church Sunday choir, not the co-leader of a fourth tier death metal band.

I was thoroughly unimpressed by the band's inability to hide their anonymity. Their performance was also lackluster. The band is Teenage Symphony.

And the frontman kid kept farting and giggling under his breath. That's when Mud Trap stepped in.
